Hey. I'm a travelling English teacher. I work for VIPKID teaching English 1 on 1 to Chinese children through video chat. I speak Spanish and really enjoy the challenge of developing a second language. So far my pursuit of better Spanish has taken me to Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay and now Spain. Recent travel detours include Malaysia and Rome, Italy.

In my free time I like to practice portrait drawing and I like to do it with a short time limit. My instagram is Benja854 if you would like to check it out. You can absolutely request one or several free portraits if we meet and you have the patience to sit still for a few minutes.

I'd love to try out my pretty good Spanish on you, or if you want to work on your English I might be able to help with some finer points of English grammar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and just now I had a horrible experience with Airbnb. I'll tell you all about it.
